The combustion of glucose, C6 H12 O6 (s), produces carbon dioxide, CO2 (g), and water, H2 O(g), according to the equation below.
2 answers:
Answer: –2,840 kJ/mol
Explanation:
Heat of combustion is the heat produced when 1 mole of the substance is completely oxidized. The production of heat means the reaction is an exothermic process and gives off energy.
According to the given balanced chemical equation:
1 mole of glucose is being completely oxidized to give carbon dioxide and water and thus heat of combustion is -2840 kJ/mol.

Amino Acids undergo a kind of acid base reaction within a molecule. The Amino group acts as a base and accepts proton from Carboxylic functional group resulting in formation of Ammonium with positive charge and a negative charge on Carboxylate. Such molecules containing both positive and negative charges are called as Zwittor Ions. Phenylalanine both in Un-ionized and Ionized form is shown below,
